Hello,
I thought my boat made it through Sandy without damage, but I was wrong. I got on the boat Wednesday and saw that some boat with a blue hull must have broken loose during the storm and hit me.
The starboard side has some damage, bent stanchions, snapped lifeline, etc. The worst damage is to the rub rail. About a 10' section, starting at the transom, has been pretty badly damaged. The black rubber rub rail itself appears to be fine, but the plastic channel that the black rubber attaches too is cracked, splintered, and / or just plain gone.
I have contacted my insurance co, and they will send an adjuster by, but in the meantime I am looking for the name of that part and some suggested sources.
I'll post pictures when I get internet service back. I am working from the local library which has power and wifi.
Thanks,
Barry
